avoided by using chalk on the file if it
be used dry, or oil when that may be
applied.

ing which is not by any means over
done, and that is the raising of mules.

edged fact that in many sections the
mule has as many friends as the horse
for this object. The great arguments
in favor of mules are their hardness,
endurance, and the ease with which
they can be sold.-SGw francisco
